Reed was actually really good last season as well.

He was good his first season too. He has been getting better every year. This is very encouraging indeed. With him and Clark taking a another step upward, I see nothing but good things ahead.

For all the nay sayers about our draft picks......this was a great pick right from the start. Reed was a first round talent that we got in round 2. He started his first year, and while he wasn't on Mebane's level....he still showed promise. Last year he stepped it up a notch, and now this, his third year, he is one of the best DT's around. Reed definitely will deserve a nice contract extension next year....and we need to extend Clark or at least franchise tag him.

Extend Reed early, let Clark walk if he wants Donaldson/Mack money, i say we dont pay Clark more then 14million. Reed should still be cheap and not dick around like we did with Clark before he too gets to expensive.
